Metal Gear Online Comments by Dan Whitehead

Dear God, please kill the fucking MGS fantards in the most brutal fashion possible.

Oh, and bring me a good new Black Adder series.

Not nearly enough win here.

"Oh, and bring me a good new Black Adder series."

LOL! great totally random post genome and something I've also been wishing for since goes forth ended, never gonna happen though :(

Perhaps we should all argue our favourite Blackadder series as most of the MGS fanboys seemed to been silenced. Mine is 2, of course.

I'm in complete agreement on 2. The best putdown in comic history is without a doubt:
"Edmund:What, are you wearing round your neck?
Percy: Ah! It's my new ruff!
Edmund: You look like a bird who's swallowed a plate!
Percy: It's the latest fashion actually and as a matter of fact it makes me look rather sexy!
Edmund: To another plate swallowing bird perhaps. If it was blind and hadn't had it in months."

Just plus one to the 2000 post count.

OMG EG Microshaft pay your rent!!1

Fair play.

It has to be 2 then 4 then 3 and a distance last place for 1. Back and forth + the Christmas Carol scrooge ones do not count.

Dont' get me started on Blackadder quotes we'll be here all night :)

In fact just been looking at a few online to wallow in comedy genius and found one from good old general Melchett that many of the MGS fans seem to live by :)

"If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through."

Edit - couldn't agree more Emilia'sHorse it is a close call between 2 and 4 though!

Oh come on, the best Blackadder series by far has to be 3. The writing is just so much better than 2. The supporting cast get some of the best lines ever:

Prince George: "Well, tish-and-pish to your advice, Blackadder! Get them here at once! Damn it, I'd fed up with you treating me as if I'm sort of like some kind of a thickie! It's not me that's thick, it's you and you know why? Because I'm a bloody Prince and you're only a *butler*. And now go and get those actors here this minute, Mr. Thicky-Black-Thicky- Adder-Thicky."

or

Duke: "Two other trifling things Highness.. The men had a whip-round and got you this. Well, what I mean is I had the men roundly whipped until they got you this. It's a cigarillo case engraved with the regimental crest of two crossed dead Frenchmen, emblazoned on a mound of dead Frenchmen motif. "

Oh yeah, MGO, boo hiss sounds rubbish...

@ suicida

True but one thing stops 3 going above 2 or 4

Mleh, EG lost my interest in the coverage of MGS4 when I played it.

Their 15/20 is obviously just MGS hatred. From a MGS fan of sorts (I've played them all, but not always finished), MGS4 is absolutely brilliant and EG can go shove it up their collective rear ends.

Honestly... why do people care so much about EG scores? If you like the game then you like it. It's that simple. If you give it a 10 then that is your right and good luck to you. Who cares that much about what someone else thinks about a game?

"Their 15/20 is obviously just MGS hatred"??? So fucking what?!

The crazy part is all the people up in arms about the MGS4 review are the same people who praise EG when the score a game like Gears of War the same score. During that time, EG was being honest and rightfully tough on a GOW. Here is MGS4 which is a very good game but does have a lot of flaws that have dropped scrores for other games but MGS4 should be immune. I am very much enjoying MGS4 but it is not something that I feel that I couldn't miss. It does have it's flaws that does hamper it from being the complete epic. If you are a fanboy of the series you can also throw 2 extra points on the review but for a lot of people, 8 will be pretty much close to the correct score.

]I completely disagree with this review.

I only recently got a Ps3, but I did have the opportunity to play on a mates over an entire day playing MGO. At the start I thought it was too slow and dry to enjoy coming from all the shooters ive played in the past.

But the more you play it THEY WAY ITS INTENDED, ie, slow and stealthy the more enjoyable it becomes. This is with out a doubt one of the best online shooters ive ever played and Ive played probably as many as anyone here from early consoles,PC etc. The SOP system is fun, why hasn't that been mentioned? And headsets? Ive witnessed some of the most intense heart-pounding games as 2 people are left against the other team and watch them co-ordinate attacks. I cant wait to get MGS this Friday if only for this portion of the game. And why review it seperately? This is just absolute bullshit. They didn't do it with GTA4.

I don't get the review at all. Again in my opinion this is just grabbing for hits. Pathetic because Eurogamer is loosing its credibility. EG deserve people to leave this site, their reviews recently just aint adding up.

mgs4 act 1 + 2 are great. 3 - 5 stank. too short, too many boring over explanatory movies, completely pointless 15 min breifings that add nothing to the story, too many on rails sections, too much recapping for people that don't yet know mgs1,2 + 3 plot, for once (shockingly if you know the series) an overly predictable and simplistic plot with simple predictable plot twists, too easy and very very anti climactic... but bags of fun, and mgo is the gameplay the singleplayer is missing. online 8/10. offline 7/10. overall as good as it is bad...an average all round game.

"buy three more character slots "

EPIC FAIL.

@ 3william56

Couldn't agree more, that's one thing I will not shell out for on MGSO. They made it so you can't change characters as well so you think you have to pay for more slots. Ridiculous fleecing.

For the folks wondering if this type of thing has ever been done before, y'know, 2 separate scores for the two core components of a game. Well, just look for Gears Of War on the 360, that too had two reviews.

Also Konami expressly forbade MGS4 reviews from covering MGO, so go figure.

Yeah, I mean, how dare Eurogamer have an opinion that differs from yours.

:P

Not only do you have to buy slots past the first, it has to be for every other PSN ID - it's one per console. That's bullshit. I realise you could've just kept making PSN IDs, but this way means if you have good reason to have 2 people in your household playing it, one has to buy extra slots just to get their own character.

Although I don't mind much - it means the other gamers in my house have to use my character, so we all contribute to one characters levelling. They don't play much though, but I'm sure there will be many multi-gamer households pissed off by this.

@ BobsUncle

Sam Fisher rules for one thing alone (well the games are great as well)......

@ DFawkes

Very true but I had the same problem with H3. Before I got her a 360 my girlfriend developed a taste for the MP on my console. She wasn't very good to be honest and was killing my rankings on my profile :(

@Yaz.

Please! My opinion echoes mostly the good praise on this forum by the users and by many many other users across the internet. I really wish they would clarify why they used two reviews when the online componet is clearly a part of the actual game which you dont have to pay for. Say what you like but his is nothing more than manipulation of users to get page hits.

Very sad, whats up is the credit crunch hitting your pockets too much?

*******
What do you think? Ready to go for another 2000 comments? Or is everyone still too tired from last time? It probably doesn't matter, since Metal Gear's optional online side dish doesn't quite come with the same burden of expectation and devotion as the main course.
*****************

Kinda like GTA4 and Halo3. Oh right, its different simply because YOU say so.


***************
As it comes tucked away for free in Metal Gear Solid 4, that's not such an obstacle right now. It's a robust freebie that will attract a devoted hardcore fanbase quite easily, and fans can feel free to add the score below to Oli's review and declare that Metal Gear Solid 4 is now worth 15/20.

The guys a twat, sorry.

Actually, from what I'm reading, 7/10 for MGO seems to be fair.

"I really wish they would clarify why they used two reviews when the online componet is clearly a part of the actual game which you dont have to pay for."

Because apparently, Konami imposed restrictions on the reviews. Hence look around, notice how none of the MGS4 reviews on other sites include MGO (unless I've missed a few), therefore Eurogamer are not acting differently to others. Stop looking for a conspiracy. ;)

This isn't olympic figure skating, you know.

7/10 is still a good score, 8/10 a very good score.

LOL@Bitkari

think the scores are the wrong way around in my opinion. way more game in mgo.

Once again, there were far too many obviously inflammatory comments apparently inserted to get a rise out of the franchise's fanbase

Considering the fanbase seems to consist entirely of absolutely blinkered, foaming-at-the-mouth, raving, rabid fanbots that absolutely piss their little girly knickers and thump at the chest of daddy when someone disparages their precious fucking game, it's really not that hard to 'get a rise' out of them.

It's fucking hilarious as well.

@Bloodkult

+1

I couldn't agree more. As someone said on the MGS4 thread, MGS fans have indeed proved themselves to be the whiniest on the planet! It truly is hilarious watching them constantly wetting their knickers!

that's it i'm changing to EG.pt I don't want to read anymore reviews by you. ;P

I'm glad I'm Portuguese ^_^

Sorry Arbiter, did you say something?

I couldn't quite make it out through the foam round your mouth.
Either that or it was muffled by your head being stuck so far up Kojima's arse.

The EG 8/10 is the complete end of the world for you, if it wasn't you'd have stopped crying about it by now.
I fucking love it.

Are you still upset Arbiter?
It's a terrible thing, what is (apparently) a grown man crying his little heart out over a review score.

You must have such an empty existence, knowing the latest MGS review score is literally the most important moment of your life.

Such a terrible waste of a man, but such a goldmine of ridicule.

You apparently care about what the people who gave MGS 8/10 think.
It obviously burns you to the very core of your being.

You've filled the void in your life with complete obsession for a brand, and now it's been made to look shaky, you've taken at as personal affront to your otherwise non-existent character.

You've become a parody of a man, an impressionable block of clay to be moulded and stamped by corporations.
Best of all, you want it.


...Even after all your crying, whining and tantrums, MGS will still have got an 8/10.

That's a point less than Splinter Cell.

You better get some clean tissues.

Jeez Bloodkult and Arbiter get a room FFS.

Get a room?! It's funnier in public!

Personally, I don't believe this portion of the package really merits a review. It is after all a component that was designed to evolve over time through DLCs and updates.
